 * If you need to use a proxy to download MongoDB then you can either use `-Dhttp.proxyHost` and `-Dhttp.proxyPort` as additional Maven arguments (this will affect the entire build) or instruct the plugin to use a proxy when downloading Mongo by adding the `proxyHost` and `proxyPort` configuration properties.
 * If you're having trouble with Windows firewall rules, try setting the _bindIp_ config property to `127.0.0.1`.
 * If you'd like the start goal to start mongodb and wait, you can add `-Dembedmongo.wait` to your Maven command line arguments
